This is my first RAGS game and I can not seem to make any progress. There is an arrow at the bottom left of the screen, does it have a meaning? I can not click on it in any way. Another thing, on Sunday, Sarah throws me out of the house because of the dirt, how do I clean the house?
Without a screenshot or something, I'm uncertain as to the "arrow" to which you refer. There is a compass rose in the game used to navigate in the primary directions of north, south, etc. Next to the compass rose is a double-sided arrow pointing up and down. This is where navigating up and down becomes available (when you enter a room with stairs, a ladder, or some other means of going up or down). Both of those have clickable green dots that show up when a traveling direction is actually available. If you are seeing an arrow somewhere else, like on the player portrait or the room image or elsewhere, you'd need to give us more information.
Green dots and the rectangles with a green border are clickable (player portrait and small room image included). Some actions are left-click actions and some are right-click. Try both means of clicking on things. Experiment. It becomes pretty self-explanatory.
Cleaning the house is done by: mowing the lawn, cleaning the pool, washing the laundry, or straightening the shed. The game only has one metric of clean versus dirty. Doing any of the cleaning activities improves it. What I mean is, you could could play the game for a year and never clean the pool, but mow the lawn repeatedly, and the pool will stay clean. Or you could clean the pool repeatedly and the grass would never need mowing. Or you could split your cleaning efforts between mowing the lawn and cleaning the pool (it doesn't matter... only matters that you do "enough" cleaning).
Also clickable are the 3 separate lists of items: room objects, visible characters, and inventory. Once again, don't forget about right-clicking as well as left clicking.
